Naranjo Gallery
A brilliant example of a grid design as a web layout. I love the minimal navigation and the size of the blocks. I particularly like the attention paid to type and the interaction of the gallery.

What The Fox?
A site for a clothing company that immediately grabs your attention, mostly through its stark use of colour and bold text. I have to say that it breaks a cardinal sin of web design, however, by forcing sound effects down your throat...

A relatively functional site for a web designer that uses a rather nifty gallery structure. I like the character of the site, the ideas of the designer come across very clearly. It also makes it very simple to view particular portfolio designs.

Restaurant App Icon
A great restaurant icon for an iPhone app that uses some classic imagery to convey its purpose. I like the use of a checked tablecloth and the detail in the design, although the perspective seems slightly off.

Watracz
A simple but perfectly apt site for a web designer that makes great use of a single colour to highlight important elements. I actually quite like the footer, and the mini gallery of featured stock files that resides there.

Lightbulb Logo
A gorgeous logo that makes an impact through its stark simplicity. The shading gives the concept great depth, allowing the coils to look truly coiled. There is also something very appealing about the blue colour used and the thickness of the white lines that make up the design, it just works!

A good example of effortlessly crisp and clean interface design, these media controls certainly wouldn't look out of place on an Apple product. The little details help to make them work, the shading, the hints of depth, and the consistent use of shapes.

Button Prototype
A great example of bold interface design. These buttons make an impact through their use of perspective and bright colours, they would give an interface built around a distinctive character. The details help to make these buttons work, particularly the slight shading that gives them a raised appearance.
